ENVISION® DECKING CRAFTED IN THE USA; BUILDING A LEGACY OF BEAUTIFYING AMERICA

ORLANDO, FLORIDA – January 9, 2018 – TAMKO® Building Products, Inc.’s Envision® decking is made in the heartland of the USA. For the past nearly two decades, TAMKO® has been producing composite decking at its Midwestern facility in Lamar, Missouri.
“Our Envision® decking product is uniquely beautiful and proudly made by our hardworking employees, right here in the USA,” said TAMKO®’s Executive Vice President Tim Whelan.
Even American musical artist Darryl Worley, well known for his numerous hit songs, including his latest single, “Lonely Alone”, and those that reached number one on the Country music charts, “I Miss My Friend”, “Have You Forgotten” (a 9/11 tribute ballad) and “Awful, Beautiful Life”, recently chose Envision® to beautify his home in Tennessee.
“I enjoy relaxing outdoors and taking in the view from my back deck,” said Worley. “I chose Envision® decking because I wanted a good-looking, low-maintenance product that would give me more time to enjoy those relaxing moments with my family. The fact that it’s an American made product is important to me.”
According to the Alliance for American Manufacturing, “Buying American-made is the most direct way anyone can support American manufacturing and manufacturing jobs”.1

TAMKO® Unveils Envision® Decking Contractor Program

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – October 26, 2017

In response to contractor input, TAMKO® Building Products, Inc. officially announces its new Envision® Registered Contractor Program. It is free to register for the new program, which includes benefits like free Envision® gear and marketing tools showing off the beauty of Envision® decking, while offering the potential to increase a contractor’s business through industry affiliation with both the Envision® and TAMKO® brands.

“Many of our clients view their deck or dock as an extension of their home, so it has to be beautiful, and Envision® does that,” said Robin Lopez, owner of Summertime Deck and Dock in Florida, one of the first to join TAMKO®’s new Envision® decking contractor program.

TAMKO® Building Products, Inc. is excited to announce a new agreement with Guardian Building Products (GBP) to distribute Envision® Decking in the eastern United States.

“As Guardian strives to expand its presence in the decking category, we look for companies who not only solve real industry problems, but also provide a complement to us culturally,” said Vendor Program Manager for GBP, Dan Parmelee. “We were fortunate to already have a great relationship with TAMKO® for roofing, so it was a natural choice to look to them when we wanted to add a new composite decking line for several of our eastern branches.”

Executive Vice President for TAMKO®, Tim Whelan said, “We have a long history of working with Guardian and we are thrilled about this recent distribution agreement which provides a new channel for TAMKO®’s Envision® decking to reach customers as we look to continue our growth and success in the composite decking market.”

TAMKO® Introduces Envision Inspiration® Composite Lumber

Inspiration is the third offering in TAMKO®’s Envision® Collection of capped composite lumber.

TAMKO® Building Products, Inc. introduces the newest member of its Envision® Collection of capped composite lumber: Envision Inspiration®. The rare beauty of this unique decking board will be revealed to the public at the International Builders Show in Orlando, Florida on January 10, 2017.

Envision Inspiration® takes a que from nature with softly blended hues creating warmth and a one-of-a-kind character that is reflected in the name of its three new colors – Weathered Wicker, which incorporates a spectrum of relaxing darker browns; Tangled Twine, which captures shades of light brown; and Barnwood Plank, which balances deep gray tones.

Inspiration is the third offering in TAMKO®’s Envision® Collection of capped composite lumber, which offers something for homes of every style and customers at every price point.

One look at TAMKO®’s striking Envision® Collection when installed sets it apart from the sea of same looking boards offered by the competition. The difference is TAMKO®’s exclusive compression molding process that produces deep grain wood-like textures and more random patterns of rich color, creating a matchless beauty.

According to TAMKO®’s Executive Vice President, Tim Whelan, “Inspiration is the culmination of a challenge to our Six Sigma and manufacturing organizations to design a product with incredible beauty, character and warmth, distinct from anything in the market. I believe they hit it out of the park. Inspiration is an amazing looking product, and I expect it to be an outstanding success in the market.”

With the addition of Inspiration, TAMKO® rounds out its family of capped decking boards with an array of solid, muted and bold tones designed for people who want to Envision® life on their decks.

Inspiration is available for customer orders now and will begin shipping in January.
